Two neighbours were assaulted when they confronted five suspects who broke into a home in Rotherham.

At around 6.45pm on February 15, five offenders forced entry to the property on Park Drive, Swallownest, in a bid to steal jewellery and cash.

However, it was then that two neighbours who heard the break-in and went to investigate, where they were assaulted by the suspects. They were punched and had items thrown at their faces, causing head and facial injuries. One of the victims, a 64-year-old woman, needed hospital treatment as a result.
